[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 401194, member: 7"] Not all inks dry at the same speed. Leftys need to find the right pen that will feed a fast drying ink, and not clog up much. It helps to find good paper, but that's is not always a choice. Sometimes an ink that clogs a pen overnight can be used if you dip the pen in a bit of water each morning before using it. You can always try water with a bit of ammonia when cleaning your pen, and then when rinsing, rinse with a drop of dish soap in the water. Do a final clean water rinse. The ammonia cleans extra good and should lift the dried ink out of a feed. The dish soap acts as a surfactant and should help the ink flow better. But some pens will flow too much and may leak at every opportunity. Or fling a drop when uncapping. It's just more work for a lefty to get it right. [/QUOTE]
